Effects of seed priming and water potential on germination of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) in laboratory assays

Sub-optimal crop emergence and establishment is a problem in crop production owing to low soil moisture. The effects of seed priming (seed soaking) on cotton and maize germination at different water potentials (0, −10 kPa, −100kPa, −200 kPa, −500 kPa and −1500 kPa) were determined in laboratory expe...
